Answer:

Her error was multiplying -3 and -4 which gives +12 but she wrote -12 instead

Step-by-step explanation:

Mariana workings:

-3(2x - 4) = -12

-6x - 12 = -12

Her error was multiplying -3 and -4 which gives +12 but she wrote -12 instead

-6x = 0

x=0

Correct workings:

-3(2x - 4) = -12

-6x + 12 = - 12

-6x = -12 - 12

-6x = -24

x = -24/-6

x = 4

Solve the equation 1.5y < -6.75

finlep [7]

1.5y < -6.75

First, divide both sides by '1.5'.
$\frac{-6.5}{1.5}$
Second, since 4.5 × 1.5 = 6.5, simplify the fraction to '-4.5'
$y \ \textless \ -4.5$

Answer: y < -4.5

<u>Corrected Question</u>

Garth buys 24 kilograms of candy. He then repacks the candy into small bags of 3/4 kilogram each. How many bags does he pack?

Answer:

C. 32 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Weight of Bag bought =24 kilograms

Since Garth wants to repack the candy into small bags of 3/4 kg, we simply divide 24 by 3/4 to obtain the number of small bags.

$24 \div \dfrac{3}{4}= 24 X \dfrac{4}{3}\\=32$

There will be 32 small bags of 3/4 kg.

The correct option is C.

On a fishing excursion, jeannie keeps 1/4 of the fish she catches and releases the remainder of the fish back into the lake. if

postnew [5]

To find 1/3 of 3/4 we divide the fraction by 3 which is equal to 1/4 or alternatively we can multiply the denominator by 3 which gives us 3/12 (1/4=3/12)
So 3/12 of the realesed fish are trout

To find 2/3 of 1/4 we need to first divide 1/4 by 3 which is equal to multiplying the denominator times 3 which gives us 1/12 and then we multiply by 2 which gives us 2/12
So 2/12 of the kept fish are trout

To find the total amount we add 2/12 and 3/12
3/12+2/12= 5/12

ANSWER:
5/12 of the fish she catches are trout
